COYOTE TERRITORY

Encountered this gorgeous canine at 6:15 AM this morning in Deer Canyon, Pacific Highlands Ranch. After passing close he caught my scent trail where I had just walked moments earlier, then made a very familiar claim that this is his territory!

Here is one today at Paradise Point San Diego that let me approach to about 3 feet away.

I certainly encounter them week in week out along these very same canyon trails. Beautiful animals.

Ok I see there are #Roadrunner fans on here! I'll give you a bonus series of videos of a beauty I saw up in tree a week ago here in Pacific Highlands Ranch, San Diego!

A #ROADRUNNER I came across this AM

It's the world's fastest bird also capable of flight: top ground speed = to that of Usain Bolt

The "racing stripe" on its cheek with a vivid mix of dark blue, white, and bright red-orange is actually a patch of bare, featherless skin rather than colored feathers

LOST DOG IN PACIFIC HIGHLANDS RANCH. Barking to get my attention. No collar. Cute ears. Does anybody know the owner?
